piggie tails and artsy afternoons

Now that the weather is gorgeous, and the days are longer, we are
taking advantage of spring by getting our art on. When we were kids, my
sister and I were always doing some type of art, and I hope that Everly
will enjoy creating as much as we did, and still do today. Now that we
are moving past eating everything, and starting to listen when I ask
her not to eat something other than food, crayons and paints are
becoming a fun way to spend the afternoon.

Painting
went surprisingly well. I was picturing her covered head to toe in
paint, but after I showed her where to put the paint, she did pretty
well of keeping her painting on the paper. And while we are on the
conversation of some firsts, check out those piggie tails! After three
tries, I finally found the right little hair ties for her baby locks.
Now mind you, she still cries when I'm taking the 30 seconds to put in
her piggie tails, but she left them in for the rest of the night. So
now we just need to have daddy practice of the art "doing hair".

mom blogger note: completed this post before work - turns out being out of the classroom for a district training is practically like a Saturday - work from 8:30 to 3:00 with an hour lunch, this is the life!
